For school kids, one aim of stuttering treatment is to help them to “own” and manage their fluency to maximise participation at school and in life, generally.

With school age-kids who stutter (and highly verbal preschoolers), we’ve been using trading cards to help underline and talk about different speech behaviours known to be compatible with increasing fluency and a sense of control.

We encourage kids and their families to edit, redesign, and rename the characters as they see fit to make them as relevant and interesting as possible. The cards are in PDF and Word formats and are editable.
